This book contributes to the debate on continuous truss bridges with chapters that explore the history of continuous truss bridges, their characteristics and a detailed description of the Sciotoville Bridge. Its design and construction is placed in historical context against a backdrop of the development of the continuous truss bridge from the 19th century to the early 20th century, providing historical background for the reader. The author thoroughly examines and explains the engineering concepts, challenges, and techniques used in this pioneering project, such as continuous trusses over long spans, inverted arch floor beams, and riveted connections to the limit of the largest rolling mill and shop facilities. Beyond the detailed engineering description, the author provides insights into the sociopolitical factors that affected the final design and construction of the bridge, and how this iconic structure continues to stand as a testament to the ingenuity and commitment of the engineers of its time.
